WeekendThis weekend I was relatively free, so took rest at home. I was planning to read some book, but somehow didn't have the mood. So simply sat at home and watched the television. I saw so many movies that I am so confused with the characters, names and stories.

Saturday:

The Malayalam movie "Indraprastham" looked like a typical Telugu movie with it's story, direction and background music. To crown all, there was Simran and couple of simransongs in the movie. (Not that I didn't enjoy it!)..."Mazha Peyyunnu Maddalam Kottunnu" was a movie that I always wanted to see. But was not very much impressed with it. There are few scenes that are good, but the movie as a whole is not definitely as enjoyable as other old Priyasarshan movies (like "Poochakkoru Mookkuthi" or "Otaruthammava.. Aalariyam"). I saw "Ponthan Mata" for the second time. It is one of the best movies in Malayalam, with one of the best performances (probably, the best) by Mammootty so far.

Sunday:

"Golmal" was really enjoyable. It is a pleasure to watch Amol Palekar's acting. I was not very much impressed with "Thoovanathumplikal" . Definitely it is not among Padmarajan's best. But it has a rare performance by Mohanlal in which he changes his dialogue delivery style. In the night I was watching the classic Hindi movie "Mother India", but I slept after some time!.. I woke up late night and switched off the TV.
